Question<\/strong>: The Bluetooth on my Mercedes Benz is not working. I thought it was maybe related to my phone, but I just bought a new phone and the problem is still happening. Could you explain to me how to reset my Mercedes Bluetooth?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer<\/strong>:
It can be frustrating when the Bluetooth in your car doesn\u2019t work \u2014 especially if you rely on it for hands-free communication, music streaming, or driving directions. Luckily, there are several things you can try to get your Mercedes Bluetooth working again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check if your device is compatible with your Mercedes Bluetooth system<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Compatibility is crucial if you\u2019re trying to connect Bluetooth to your Mercedes using a new phone. In particular, douple-check that your phone can support a Hands-Free Profile, or HFP. Also, make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone. Even if it was previously turned on, the setting can sometimes turn off after a software update or if you reboot your phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Restart your phone and infotainment system<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, all it takes is a restart to reconnect your Bluetooth. Power your phone off and back on and restart the media center in your Mercedes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If turning the infotainment system on and off doesn\u2019t fix the Bluetooth connectivity issue, try resetting the media center. This exact process can vary, but in some models, you\u2019ll hold down the \u2018Favorite\u2019 (Star) button and the \u2018Telephone\u2019 button together for 10 seconds until the system restarts. There may also be a \u201cReset\u201d option in your infotainment menu under \u201cHome\u201d > \u201cSettings\u201d > \u201cSystem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep in mind, if you reset your infotainment system, you may lose some saved preferences, like preset radio stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unpair your phone and your Mercedes, then pair them again<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Go through your car\u2019s Bluetooth menu and delete your phone, then delete your car from your phone\u2019s Bluetooth menu. It also helps to delete any other devices paired with your Mercedes. Then, reconnect your phone and car to see if that fixes the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check for phone and infotainment updates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your phone or Mercedes infotainment system needs a software update, you may have difficulty with your Bluetooth connection. To update your phone, check your phone\u2019s settings menu for available operating system upgrades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The process for installing Mercedes infotainment updates can vary by model and year. For instance, on some newer models, you\u2019ll click on \u201cHome\u201d > \u201cSettings\u201d > \u201cSystem\u201d > \u201cSoftware Update.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reset your phone\u2019s network settings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Resetting your phone\u2019s network settings can sometimes help you re-establish a successful Bluetooth pairing with your Mercedes, but the exact process can vary depending on your phone. (Note that this will erase your saved network settings, including WiFi passwords.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Androids, the network reset option should be under \u201cSettings,\u201d then \u201cGeneral Management\u201d or \u201cSystem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Apple devices, you can reset the network under \u201cSettings\u201d > \u201cGeneral\u201d > \u201cTransfer or Reset iPhone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Double-check your pairing code<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you connect your phone to your Mercedes\u2019 Bluetooth, you\u2019ll be prompted to enter a pairing code. You can find it in your Mercedes owner’s manual if you’ve forgotten it. If you don\u2019t have that, contact the nearest Mercedes dealership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If none of these options work, there may be an issue with your car’s Bluetooth module. To have the problem diagnosed and repaired, you’ll need to bring your vehicle to an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealership or an auto shop that specializes in Mercedes vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
